ABOUT ME

I've been described as outgoing, curious, and independent. I enjoy meeting new people and really like to hear about where they are coming from, where they have been, what they aspire to do, and what makes them happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS tends to attract the adventurous, curious, unique people of this planet. Let's unite one couch at a time :)

My sister and my parents (if they are around) like to host with me. You can check out my sister's profile: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/aneesa2/
